How to Save the World(or at least yourself) from a Bad Meeting.




the video explains how saying no to a meeting or finding out what the meeting is about can help you like meetings more and feel more interested in attending one or say no to one in order for you to not waste your time on a meeting that brings no benefit to you in any way. My free creation is a visual creation that explains how it’s okay to say no to a meeting that you think won’t be in any way important to you. If saying no to a meeting seems rude, you could email the person in charge of the meeting and discuss with them what the meeting they are holding is about or if you can be excused from the meeting. This will be beneficial in the future not only for you to be saved from bad meetings but also help the person holding the meeting change the way they approach a new topic, and they could realize and that a meeting for certain things is not always necessary and instead send out an email with the information to the people that its relevant to.

How to Pitch a Brilliant Idea (Video)

In class we had a presentation about pitching a brilliant idea, and we were told to make a small video about a topic that we are passionate to talk about. It took me a long time to upload this video, not because it was hard to make but because it was hard for me to have a video of me seen by my whole class.

I wish I had upload it sooner so that I would have gotten feedback on it. Even though the thought of having a video of me speaking was hard for me to process at first but as soon I uploaded it, my stress kind of went away.
